A Literal Interpretation of the Fourth Section
Will BE Simply Runous.
SAN Francisco, April I0-Tne Alta Calfor-
MIA publishes an interview with Leland Stan
ford. president of the Southern Pacific Railway
Company regarding the effect the enforcement
of the fourth section of the interstate commerce
law would have on the commerce of San Fran
cisco. He said: Literal enforcement of the
fourth section Of the interstatecommerce law
would be simply ruinous. 1t would destroy cur
commerce, not only with China and Japan. but
with Australia and all other countries where
the trade naturally comes to US by way of the
Pacific ocean. Now, our agents in China and
Japan are brought face to face with competitive
rates by way of the Suez canal, by water and
rail across the Is.hmus of Panama and by all
water around Cape Horn Hitherto we have
tried to meet that competition by giving rates
which. if not as low those by water are when
combined with added advantages Of speed, sufi-
cient TO secure a large proportion OF the bust
ness. These rates of themselves. could not
be remunerative-thar Is to say, if our whole
carrying business was conducted on the same
basis, it would not pay the operating expenses
of the road and the interest on investments but
as we are compelled to keep up track and
rolling stock. and operate road anyway,
through business, at these low rates, con-
tributed toward paving the expenses of the road,
and to that extent operated ir measure to
enable US to make lower rates on local business
than might otherwise be possible Now. how
ever we are brought face TO face with this prop
osltion. If the law is to be literally enforced
we cannot make special rate for through busi-
ness without making d corresponding rate for
all our local business. We shall be compelled to
chose between local and through business. and
in that event, naturally, We will have 20 forego
